How can I have Glimpse instrument all requests, but still restrict access to the Glimpse panel?

I'd like Glimpse to instrument all requests to my site, but still restrict the Glimpse.axd page and the HUD to selected people.

I already have a custom runtime policy, but when this policy restricts access to the Glimpse HUD, it also doesn't instrument the request.

Is what I'm asking possible? I have a hunch it has something to do with Runtime Event.

Solution

  • It sounds like your policy is either returning RuntimePolicy.Off or RuntimePolicy.On.

    What you should do instead is not turn Glimpse off, but return RuntimePolicy.PersistResults so that Glimpse will capture the information about the request, but not inject HUD or the full client.

    You can see more about the various levels of Glimpse policies on GitHub.
